Abstract

Pure and Ru-doped nanostructured SnO₂ sensing materials were synthesized using a modified Pechini route. Incorporation of Ru in SnO ₂ results in the reduction of particle size (8.3 nm) compared with that of the pure SnO₂ (28.2 nm). Moreover, the sensor exhibited a reasonably good sensitivity towards both H₂ and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The effect of Ru incorporation, operating temperature, and gas concentration on the structure, morphology, and sensitivity is discussed using the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with sensing performance.
